Event Navigation

Welcome to the 52nd Annual Area 43 Convention!

The Way Out – Old or New, We Have a Solution For You

We hope you will join us as we celebrate a spectacular weekend of events. Attend workshops and marathon meetings sure to inspire and rejuvenate, entertaining, enlightening big special speaker meetings, a warm and welcoming hospitality suite and many other opportunities to celebrate recovery and fellowship.

For newcomers, we offer a welcome and orientation session on Friday afternoon. The hospitality suite is open throughout the weekend for fellowship with lots of raffle items and refreshments. Celebrate your sobriety at Marathon Meetings that run late in the night on Friday and Saturday. Grab your mats or towels and start your day in yoga/meditation class on Saturday and Sunday. Be sure not to miss the Sobriety Countdown for an extra special celebration before our speaker meeting on Saturday night!

We’ll also have a hike and a meeting on the Champney Falls trail at Mt. Chocorua on Saturday as well. If this sounds like a plan, please bring some warm clothes, hiking boots, microspikes and snowshoes. The loop is about 3.5 miles so plan for some water and snacks as well!

Friday night, stop by the “Coffee House” featuring live music, AA Jeopardy, and board games. On Saturday night, disguise yourself for an evening of fun at the Masquerade Dance or bundle up for an outside Bonfire Meeting followed by delicious S’mores.
